I replaced the entire clutch on my dirt bike and o have some problems. When I pull the clutch in and shift to first the bike takes off and when I give it throttle it goes like I don’t have the clutch in. If I rev it really high then the bike stops but once the rpms go back down it starts going again. And then if I’m just riding normally and pull in the clutch nothing happens and it just acts like the clutch isn’t pulled in. Could someone please help because I spent over $300 on all clutch parts and it still doesn’t work!

Another possibility:
I recently put a Barnett clutch basket in one of my YZ250s. The kick-start gear which was manufactured and pressed into the basket by Barnett was too tall. That caused a hardnened thrust washer to friction-weld to the gear. I'm a machinist, so rather than deal with Barnett I modified their parts to match OEM dimensions and replaced the damaged OEM washers.
You can check for clearance in that bearing fairly easy:
Put the bike in neutral and lay it on it's side so you don't have to drain the oil.
Remove the outer clutch cover.
Remove the pressure plate (bolts and springs) and then remove all the clutch plates.
The inner hub should turn freely without any resistance (independent of the clutch basket)
The basket should rotate too, but you'll be turning the engine, so it will have resistance from compression.
